im sure some have merged already I play on eu ragnoras and ever since the patch there have been waits to get online(im currently waiting to log in at number 608 with a predicted 25 minute wait which is why im killing time here) I never saw a single wait before this patch even at peask times so somethings definitely changed and I know 1 patch didn't attract that many people to the server! So I suspect its been merged with others hence the increased player load over night.
